| Help with hiding LinkButton in DataList by:News | |
| Hi, I need help with datalist and linkbutton. I need a LinkButton to be visible in datalist only on the condition when datafield "is_measure_customchecklist" in a db table set to true. Here is the code (in parts): <asp:DataList id="dtl1" runat="server" DataKeyField="program_id" OnItemCommand="DoItemSelect" OnItemCreated="Item_Created" OnItemDataBound="BindProgramGrid" > <ItemTemplate> <%# Container.DataItem("name") %> <asp:LinkButton Visible="false" ID="managechecklist" CommandName="managechecklist" Text="Manage Checklist" CommandArgument='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, Runat="server" /> </ItemTemplate> <SelectedItemTemplate> <b><%# Container.DataItem("name") %></b> <asp:LinkButton CommandName="Editprogram" Text="Edit Program" runat="server" /> <asp:LinkButton ID="managechecklist" CommandName="managechecklist" Text="Manage Checklist" CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "is_measure_customchecklist") %>' Runat="server" /> ..... </SelectedItemTemplate> 1. I tried with this method (below) but can not get value of the CommandArgument of the LinkButton (understand that commandargument is not part of DataListItemEventArgs): Sub Item_Created(sender As Object, e As DataListItemEventArgs) If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then ' Retrieve the Label control in the current DataListItem. Dim lbtnManageCheckist As LinkButton = CType(e.Item.FindControl("managechecklist"), LinkButton) lbtnManageCheckist.visible = False If lbtnManageCheckist.CommandArgument.toString() Then lbtnManageCheckist.visible = True End If End If End Sub 2. I tried another way, here I can get the value of CommandArgument value but setting of the link button (lbtnManageCheckist.visible = True) to visible is not working: Sub DoItemSelect(sender As Object, e As DataListCommandEventArgs) If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then ' Retrieve the Label control in the current DataListItem. Dim lbtnManageCheckist As LinkButton = CType(e.Item.FindControl("managechecklist"), LinkButton) lbtnManageCheckist.visible = False If lbtnManageCheckist.CommandArgument.toString() Then lbtnManageCheckist.visible = True End If End If End Sub Can anyone advise what is the better way to get this thing working. I need link button to appear in DataList on condition "is_measure_customchecklist" is true Thank you... | |

| Hi News, Why do you not set that visible and not visible in the server side load event? Cor | |
